We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and Untangle NG Firewall based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The pricing is excellent. It's much less expensive than Cisco."
"The stability and scalability of this solution are satisfactory. Its SD-WAN, VPN, and URL filtering features are very useful."
"Its user interface is good, and it is always working fine."
"Centralized monitoring, policy management, and virtualized appliances allow us to take control over our public and private infrastructure."
"You can purchase switches and you don't need to do anything with them. You just put in the firewall and the switches get all the policies and rules that you already have in the firewall. With Fortinet, you just connect the FortiSwitch to the Fortinet and that's it."
"We use the FortiGate Sandbox to detect zero-day vulnerabilities, such as anomalies or malware, that are unknown and have not yet been discovered."
"Its performance in fulfilling our requirements has been satisfactory."
"The scalability of Fortinet FortiGate is good."
"Great as an inter-segmentation firewall or border or arch-firewall."
"The CLI works perfectly."
"Performance is a strong point."
"vSRX is easy to deploy to any virtual infrastructure, such as OpenStack, VMware, and even Docker (cSRX)."
"Technical support has been quite helpful."
"The IPS functionality of Juniper SRX is useful in the telecom industry."
"It integrates well with Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"The most valuable feature is the virtualization because it can be used for customers who are using the mobile data network to request a private connection to a remote site."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"The product’s most valuable features are endpoint protection management, load balancing, and connectivity with Active Directory."
"NG Firewalls allow us to permit or deny applications we don't want to run. We also use content filtering, SSL inspection, and all the other things we run on the firewall to keep our clients protected and ensure they're not going where they shouldn't. It's a great firewall that works as intended."
"All features are useful. We are using premium features such as bandwidth sharing, failover, web filters, SSL controls, antivirus, and VPN. We use these features to the fullest. These features are available in the paid firewall license, not the free one."
"Application Control and filtering features are valuable."
"We find the web filter very valuable."
"It is very easy to deploy and monitor. "
"What I like about this product, which is the reason that we continue to use it, is that you can install the software version on your own hardware. In case there is a problem with the hardware, we can just install the firewall in another machine and restore the configuration."
"The performance and speed are aspects of the solution that could always be improved upon."
"It would be good if they had fewer updates."
"The user interface could be improved to make it less confusing and easier to set up."
"It can be a little bit more user-friendly in terms of policy definition and implementation. It seems a little bit complicated, and it could be simplified."
"The renewal price and the availability could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate could improve by having better visibility. Palo Alto has better visibility."
"From a reporting perspective, there's room for improvement. They're providing FortiAnalyzer through which one can get some enhancements, but the visibility and reporting still need slight improvement."
"Technical support could be better. You don't always get the level of help you need right away."
"The GUI needs to be easier to handle."
"The pricing strategy of the vendor could improve."
"The solution's initial setup process was lengthy as I was new to Juniper."
"It would be ideal if the solution could use cloud services to help update signatures or threat prevention systems."
"Their models for service providers could improve."
"There is room for improvement in scalability and performance. It's scalable and reliable, but when using next-generation firewall features, the performance decreases significantly for Juniper SRX."
"Junos Space should be improved to be on par with FortiGate's solution for managing firewalls and routing."
"Its logging is very good, but we would like to have an easier way of creating more reports. We would like to be able to manipulate the reports or manage the way the reports are coming out."
"The web content filtering needs improvement."
"The hardware can be improved."
"For the web filter, I think they can do better especially on the free model."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"The biggest challenge that we have with this solution is local support. The local support is a problem in our area."
"They don't have any feature that allows you to drop the session."
"The pricing should be reduced because it is expensive."
